About BAK1

Cytogenetic location: 6p21.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:33,572,552-33,580,276 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 129 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in duodenum (RPKM 20.6), small intestine (RPKM 16.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 protein family. BCL2 family members form oligomers or heterodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. This protein localizes to mitochondria, and functions to induce Apoptosis. It interacts with and accelerates the opening of the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel, which leads to a loss in membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. This protein also interacts with the tumor suppressor P53 after exposure to cell stress. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
